    HARE'S DEATH POOL 2023

    Its all gone a little quiet around here, as the Reaper seems to be taking a late summer break. Hopefully somewhere not too warm. I can only see the two deaths since the last update, unless you are keeping a few obscure ones hidden away without telling me! 30th August: Mohamed Al-Fayed 5th September: Mairin Hughes Both hits have an effect at the top of the scoreboard, with both me and @TQRpassing the 1000 point mark and rising to 6th and 7th place respectively. Here are all those over 1000 points, full scoreboard is on page 1 The Spinosaurus (1426 points) 7 hits [Alan Arkin, Bob Barker, King Constantine, Horst-Dieter Hottges*, John Devitt, Michael Parkinson, Tony Bennett] Thatcher (1253 points) 8 hits [Federico Bahamontes, George Alagiah, Gianluca Vialli, Gina Lollobrigida, Milan Kundera Rolf Harris*, Ted Kaczynski, Tony Bennett] WEP (1204 points) 7 hits [Augie Nieto, George Alagiah*, Jango Edwards, Mutulu Shakur, Ralf Harris, Teresa Taylor, Tim Lobinger] The Unknown Man (1130 points) 6 hits [Bob Barker, George Alagiah*, Gianluca Vialli, Milan Kundera, Rolf Harris, Ted Kaczynski] Death Impends (1128 points) 8 hits [Bert I Gordon, Billy Graham, Bob Barker, Ed Ames, Francoise Gilot, Jimmy Weldon, Lucille Randon, Milan Kundera] An Fear Beag (1093 points) 9 hits [George Alagiah, Gianluca Vialli, Lucille Randon, Mairin Hughes, Mary Quant, Nick Hitchon, Nigel Lawson, Ryiuchi Sakamoto, Tim Keller] TQR (1080 points) 6 hits [George Alagiah, Harry Belafonte, Michael Parkinson, Mohamed Al-Fayed, Nigel Lawson, Tony Bennett] Wannamaker (1051 points) 9 hits [Bob Barker, Frank McGarvey, George Alagiah, King Constantine, Pervez Musharraf, Milan Kundera, Rolf Harris, Ryiuchi Sakamoto, Ted Kaczynski]

    Realistically, only 4 of them are potential hits though, with Pete Murray, Eric Idle, Charlie Bird and Stan Boardman (wtf was I thinking?) unlikely to trouble the scorers. So I'm probably relying on all of Frank Field, Jimmy Carter, Rob Burrow and Nigel Starmer-Smith dying in the next 4 months. Not impossible, but extremely unlikely.
  3. Personally, I find the "Kill or Save" threads far more annoying than anything that Diego posts. I'd much prefer 10 posts a day about obscure Eastern European footballers than 50 posts a day to decide the second best song from 50 years ago. At least they are about dead people. But that's just me However, both KoS and Diego are very, very far down on an extremely long list of "Things that piss me off on a daily basis", so I generally find it very easy to ignore both and get on with life.

    What sort of a sick cunt of a family member would look at that poor bastard in his bed and think "I've a great idea - let's take a photo of Steve and post it on facebook/instagram/whatever". If there is anyone close to him with an ounce of compassion for the man, they should get a gun and just do the right thing. Shoot her first, and then him.

    Christ, we are not back to this again are we? Look at Wannamaker's picture posted earlier - look familiar?

    According to this caption, this is Bob Barker at the 34th Daytime Emmy awards. Bob may only have one suit, but I am guessing that those two lovely ladies have more than 1 dress, so it is definitely the same awards ceremony as what you posted from. Which was in 2007. Which is therefore the same awards ceremony that Toast posted a picture from already.. Cant accept it, I'm afraid

    The Joker's Dead Pool 2023

    I will definitely accept that, as I am fairly certain it is a different year to those posted previously. However, I am also almost certain it is from 1995, not 1982. I am guessing you got it from USmagazine.com where they have that picture beside the section on him winning an Emmy in 1982. However they have just inserted random pictures into that article, regardless of the timeline.

    Not many hits to reports since the last update, all of 9 days ago. However, at this time of year the hits tend to get more significant as the points rise, as this weeks update illustrates. 18th August: Al Quie 21st August: Abe Jacobs 26th August: Bob Barker Bob Barkers demise is obviously the big one here, being selected by 13 players, enough for a place on the ZZZ Boring Predictable Team. Most significantly, he was a hit for @TheSpinosauruswho now takes the lead. @Thatcherwas only in the lead for 10 days this time, and now drops down to second place. Three more players cross the 1000 point barrier, with last years champion @Death Impendslurking ominously in 5th place with a Joker still to play. However no-one is running away with it, and there is plenty of scope for a bolter from the pack over the coming month or two. These are the players over 1000 points. Full updated leaderboard, as always, is on page 1. The Spinosaurus (1426 points) 7 hits [Alan Arkin, Bob Barker, Constantine, Horst-Dieter Hottges*, John Devitt, Michael Parkinson, Tony Bennett] Thatcher (1253 points) 8 hits [Federico Bahamontes, George Alagiah, Gianluca Vialli, Gina Lollobrigida, Milan Kundera Rolf Harris*, Ted Kaczynski, Tony Bennett] WEP (1204 points) 7 hits [Augie Nieto, George Alagiah*, Jango Edwards, Mutulu Shakur, Ralf Harris, Teresa Taylor, Tim Lobinger] The Unknown Man (1130 points) 6 hits [Bob Barker, George Alagiah*, Gianluca Vialli, Milan Kundera, Rolf Harris, Ted Kaczynski] Death Impends (1128 points) 8 hits [Bert I Gordon, Billy Graham, Bob Barker, Ed Ames, Francoise Gilot, Jimmy Weldon, Lucille Randon, Milan Kundera] Wannamaker (1051 points) 9 hits [Bob Barker, Frank McGarvey, George Alagiah, King Constantine, Pervez Musharraf, Milan Kundera, Rolf Harris, Ryiuchi Sakamoto, Ted Kaczynski]

    My extensive research suggests that this is from the 34th Primetime Emmy Awards in 2007. These Emmy photos are going to be difficult to assess, because similar to Tony Bennett, Bob Barker appears to be wearing the same suit with the same red handkerchief in the pocket at all of the Emmy ceremonies! And you can't tell by the look of his face, as the older he got, the younger he looked! For example, this is Bob receiving a 1996 Daytime Emmy award.

    Let lots of other sources be your friend instead. It's really not difficult to find information on the origin of the gris-gris (or gri-gri) as an amulet or charm originally from Islamic healers, then absorbed into African culture, and from there via slaves to the south of America. It's quite interesting to read about it, if actually reading about stuff is your thing. Apparently it is not all about cursing someone, although that it is what it came to be used at in voodoo. It is also widely used as a protective charm and is (or at least was) used in parts of Africa as a contraceptive.

    Now that Nick Hitchon has gotten a QO, I can stop sulking and bring you an update. Not many popular hits, but there were a few important ones. These are who I have since the last update: 23rd July: Nick Hitchon 8th August: Federico Bahamontes 8th August: Yulia Borisova 9th August: Doreen Mantle 17th August: John Devitt 17th August: Michael Parkinson 18th August: James L. Buckley With the Bahamontes hit, @Thatcherretakes the lead that @WEPheld for a full 4 days. WEP drops down to second, just ahead of @TheSpinosauruswho becomes the third player to pass the 1000 point mark. Despite their worries, with only 6 hits down, they have plenty of scope to rack up scores as the year progresses. @TQRand I both enter the top 10, which is listed below. At the bottom of the pile, Parkie gives @Bibliogryphontheir first hit of the game, leaving only @chickencobra, @DeathByArsenicand @Pedro67 still with nul-points. Full scoreboard is on page 1, let me know if I missed anyone, Thatcher (1253 points) 8 hits [Federico Bahamontes, George Alagiah, Gianluca Vialli, Gina Lollobrigida, Milan Kundera Rolf Harris*, Ted Kaczynski, Tony Bennett] WEP (1204 points) 7 hits [Augie Nieto, George Alagiah*, Jango Edwards, Mutulu Shakur, Ralf Harris, Teresa Taylor, Tim Lobinger] TheSpinosaurus (1189 points) 6 hits [Alan Arkin, King Constantine, Horst-Dieter Hottges*, John Devitt, Michael Parkinson, Tony Bennett] Gcreptile (999 points) 8 hits [Burt Bacharach, Daniel N Paul, Frederic Forrest, George Alagiah, Grant Turner, Haris Ibrahim, Menahem Pressler, William Consovoy] The Unknown Man (893 points) 5 hits [George Alagiah*, Gianluca Vialli, Milan Kundera, Rolf Harris, Ted Kaczynski] Death Impends (891 points) 7 hits [Bert I Gordon, Billy Graham, Ed Ames, Francoise Gilot, Jimmy Weldon, Lucille Randon, Milan Kundera] Toast (857 points) 9 hits [Fay Weldon, George Alagiah, Gianluca Vialli, Just Fontaine, King Constantine, Milan Kundera, Rolf Harris, Ryiuchi Sakamoto, Winnie Ewing] Arghton (856 points) 9 hits [Carmen Sevilla, Emlain Kabua, George Alagiah, Gianluca Vialli, Ivan Silayev*, Otis Taylor, Rafiq Nishonov, Tim Lobinger, Winnie Ewing) An Fear Beag (846 points) 8 hits [George Alagiah, Gianluca Vialli, Lucille Randon, Mary Quant, Nick Hitchon, Nigel Lawson, Ryiuchi Sakamoto, Tim Keller] TQR (839 points) 5 hits [George Alagiah, Harry Belafonte, Michael Parkinson, Nigel Lawson, Tony Bennett]
